[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fundraising would need a parent or teacher to spearhead the operation.  When we were at Clemente, I think I remember the administration asserting the fact we didn't have fundraising had to do with accounting - no fund MCPS would let us put the money in?  probably explaining this very wrong...

[b]The trip is very worthwhile.  [/b]Could they do it in the DC area?  probably.  They'd give up the extreme bonding they gain on the trip, and the independence - the kids really are the leaders and their chaperone of their group of 7 or 8 just makes sure they are safe and helps them out as they navigate the city.

Parents have fought so hard over the years to have the trip, it'd be a shame to lose it.  But whatever, I'm used to by now MCPS changing everything that was good.  At least they've done it just after we leave that grade, school, etc.  The fight's gone out in us, and if future families are ok with it, be complacent and it will go away.

Whether the trip is worthwhile surely depends on whether you or not have the one thousand three hundred dollars to pay for it, and/or what else you were going to do with that money?

And can't kids be independent navigating the city in DC?

Clemente/MLK have a center program coordinator, who would be the logical person to be in charge of fundraising. Plus if Eastern can do fundraising, then so can Clemente.[/quote]

The current coordinator is a complete moron with no experience. Interestingly has a kid in the magnet program too.[/quote]

I though I was the only one who thought this.  Would much rather have better communication and not the useless “blog” posts. [/quote]
